User Reviews for M Bar

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I met a girl on first date at the M Bar - at her suggestion. First off - It's small! Or what I would call 'intimate'. The acoustics are very good so any conversation taking place is fair game to anyone else in the establishment. Outside a being a tiny cash only place - it's very cool. Warm, candle lit, with agreeable music playing. Non-smokers may be put off due to the size of the establishment and the lack of airflow (smoking is allowed inside). Luckily there are a couple outside tables to take advantage of. 4 star due to lack of ventilation - but I will be a return customer!

Pros: Cheap prices (happy hour gives 3$ glasses) friendly occupants

Cons: Very small, if you come with 5 or more people, you'll fill half the place up.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've only been here late at night and I've been here alot, and each time it's a totally different crowd. It's really fun, different people everytime. Great place to go by yourself or with friends, fun, dark, tiny atmosphere. Reasonable prices, a definate "hole in the wall" and worth checking out. We go here all the time when we're in NW. Good date spot for an after dinner drink. Cash only!

Pros: Good date spot, good wines, always different crowd

Cons: Can get pretty crowded since it's so tiny

My husband & I were visiting from SF and nearly missed this gem as we walked by. We intended to drop in for a quick drink and ended up staying all night! The service was warm - our bartender was a very sweet girl who seemed to know everyone as they came in. The candle lit environment was great and the music was hip. Everyone in the bar was friendly - we met some nice people that night. Loved it!

Pros: sweet service, the PIKE beer, candles & music

There's only a few select wines and beers on the menu, which are good, but there's not mch to choose from, and bring cash-$20 for a bottle, $6 for a glass. Every Monday they have Djs spinning which isn't noisy-you can actually hear yourself talk.

Pros: low-key, quiet, clean

Cons: small, cash only, not many choices
